Databases are Valuable Resources
A database is a collection of data; information stored, typically in electronic format. It may contain bibliographic, numerical or other data, generally structured so that it can be sought and retrieved automatically. (from www.library.tudelft.nl/tulib/glossary/index.htm).
Typically, databases are collections for particular types of resources. They specialize in an academic subject area, a certain type of media, materials for a special purpose, or resources for a particular segment of the population, for example.
Saddlebrook Prep subscribes to a premier research database from Gale Cengage that is designed for schools. It offers an excellent collection of thousands of journal articles, biographies, reference materials, primary sources, and media. Students can log into the database by going to http://infotrac.galegroup.com/itweb and entering our school ID "wesl38374" and password."sbpreader."
Other Free Databases
Databases are available online through the Florida Electronic Library and Florida public libraries. The Florida Electronic Library does not require an ID or password, but the public libraries require that you have a library card to use their databases remotely.
